Emmanuel Middle School

Safeguarding

Emmanuel Middle School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare, both physical and emotional, of every pupil both inside and outside of the school premises. We implement a whole-school preventative approach to managing safeguarding concerns, ensuring that the wellbeing of pupils is at the forefront of all action taken. We expect all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment and maintain a vigilant and safe environment. It is our willingness to work in a safe manner and challenge inappropriate behaviour that underpins this commitment.

The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mr R Christopher and the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs E Robertson.  You can contact the Safeguarding Leads through the school office on 01202 828100.
